the sole purpose of setting up a Jewish theology called
« rabbinic » against Yeshua and his disciples. Some
even today invoke them and speak of them as the
« wises of Israel » of the first centuries. They would
then be an immutable reference in the spiritual
knowledge of the Scriptures. But a simple remark leads
us to think that, if they had really been « wise men »,
would they not have chosen to follow Yeshua's way
instead of contradicting it, opposing it with violence,
and do everything to fight it.
Our true « Fathers in Faith » according to the
Scriptures, are neither of them, but rather, those who
were formed by The Everlasting Himself through Christ
who was at work from the beginning at the time of
Genesis to redeem, deliver, save and make of those who
belonged to him a people to glorify HaElohim, the One
True God and the One whom He sent. Our Fathers in
faith are clearly given to us by the Scriptures
themselves. These are: Avraham, Yitz„hak, Yaakov,
Mosheh, David, the Prophets... to Yeshua Himself who
is for us, an "eternal father" according to the prophet
Isaiah (Isaiah 9:5 to 5). "Father" means in Hebrew
thought: « He who protects us and teaches us ».
Thus « discovering the Jewish roots of faith » is not the
same as « discovering the Hebrew roots of faith ». In
that case, it‘s not adopting the Jewish roots of faith
who could deny THE CHRIST. Thus, the believer in
Yeshua must learn to dive into the Scriptures itself and
musn‘t participate in prayers or practices that are
contrary to the teaching of Yeshua and the
st
« Consecrated consecrator Men » of the 1 century.
Polos (Paul), Petros (Peter), Yaakov, the brother of
Yeshua, Yo‘hanan (John), the disciple whom Yeshua
loved, and all the other disciples remained faithful to
the sane and holy doctrine taught by Yeshua lay down on
the Hebrew foundations of the Torah, the Prophets and
the Psalms in the light of Yeshua.
Therefore, a believer in Yeshua can not attend or
participate in certain Jewish prayers or religious
practices that contradict Yeshua's message. To be clear,
let us mention some examples where the Believers in
Yeshua should not participate at :
- Celebrate the Jewish holiday of « Lag
rd
Baomer », the 33 day of the omer, for
example because it celebrates Rabbi Akiva
who rose up against Yeshua and his followers
by claiming that Bar Kokhba was the true
messiah of Israel in the 150s of the Christian
era...
- to go to pray on tombs of famous rabbis to
obtain healings and deliverances…
- Etc…
On the other hand, that the believers in Yeshua
participate in the feasts of ‘Hanukkah, Purim, the main
fasts, etc…don’t pose any major problems since then they
listen to the Holy Spirit and let themselves be guided by
Him in order to be a faithful and true witness of Yeshua,
the Messiah of Israel to the Jews of the tradition.
VII- Priestly Guards, the Feast of Sukkot and
the Birth of Yeshua:
1. The manuscripts discovered at Qumran lead us to
confirm the birth of Yeshua at the time of the Feast
of Tabernacles (Sukkot). Let's try to give an overview
of that. We know that the Apostle Luqas (Luke)
speaks to us about Zechariah the priest. He was a
priest of the class of AviYah (Abijah) (Luqas (Luke)
1:5 to 25). With the Qumran discoveries, we
confirmed that the priestly guards of the Temple
were organized in the order that David had set up (1
Chronicles 24:3 to 19). David had thus defined 24
classes of priests who took turns in the Temple to
serve a Shabbat-noon at Shabbat-noon the following
week. As a result, each class intervened twice a week
in the year. In total, these two cycles of « priestly
guards » covered 48 weeks over the 52 weeks of the
Jubilee Calendar. After the first 48 weeks of the
year, David's class cycle was simply continued. Thus
the following year, there was a shift of 4 classes of
the priestly guards. After six years all priests had
served 13 times. We then left for a new cycle of 6
years. This differentiates year 1 from the cycle of
Priestly Guards beginning with the class of
« Gamul », year 2, year 3, year 4, year 5 and year 6
of the cycle of the priestly guards beginning, each
with a different class of priests. The fragments found
at Qumran, near the Dead Sea, referenced 4Q321 and
4Q328 among others, attest to this very precise
organization. (See table below)

2. The cycle of the 6 years of priestly guards can be
wedged between year -3 and year +3 of the Christian
era. There is no year « o ». We know with certainty
to recalibrate the cycle of these priestly guards
because the year 4 of our era, there occurred an
extraordinary astronomical phenomenon. That year,
the moon was full for almost 48 hours. No other
phenomenon of this kind is produced between the
year 45 before the Christian era and the year 70 of
the Christian era. The fragment of Qumran 4Q321
found near the Dead Sea specifies that this event
took place very precisely during the second week on
call of AviYah (Abijah) of the priestly guard‘s first
cycle year. The observations of Nasa corroborate that
this phenomenon took place precisly between the
Saturday 15 and the Monday 17 of November, the
fourth year of the Christian era. The priestly guard
